It is definately a viable idea but will have to be tested in spurts to see what it can do. I wouldn't want JRich to get worn down, if in fact he would at SF, so it might not be such a good plan

I'm not in a hurry to play JRich out of position 20 minutes a night (in fact, I hope it's only for 10-12)... but I'm all for getting Monta more minutes.

John Patrick's right about the whole defense jumble, though. It probably doesn't make a difference if Richardson guards the SG or SF. The real key is how the lineup gells together. I, for one, thought Monta and Ike played especially good together... and if you insert that tandem with the chemisty between Baron and Jason, it's magic in the making. Davis can probably find a way to integrate Monta & Ike's chemistry into his and Jason's. Having 4 guys on the same page would be ideal (look at Detroit... only guy on offense they didn't integrate was Ben Wallace).

That's why we're trying it out this season... to see if Monta can sink or swim with more time. We don't want to ship out Baron, put all our eggs in Ellis' basket, and have him pull a Mickael Pietrus on us...

Ugh... I'd say that's more like an Adonal Foyle. It wouldn't be a Mike Dunleavy unless Monta totally flopped... and THEN got resigned. Foyle's potential seemed to dry up after his contract extention... whereas Dunleavy's went down long before his.
